Ride Yarra Ranges - Warburton Mountain Bike Destination and Yarra Valley Trail

The Ride Yarra Ranges project will provide an accessible and sustainable world class trail destination that immerses you in the natural beauty of the Yarra Ranges
The project includes the Warburton Mountain Bike Destination Project and the Yarra Valley Trail Project.
Work is currently underway to plan and build a world class mountain biking hub in and near Warburton. The proposed network would see 100+ kilometres of new mountain biking trails completed.
The proposed Yarra Valley Trail has been described as a game changer for tourism in the Yarra Valley. The 40+ kilometre long trail would link Lilydale, Yarra Glen, Healesville and join into the Lilydale to Warburton Rail Trail.
